I was just thumbing through the postings. I usually hang out in the John Deere section, as that is my kind of tractor. However, I enjoy reading other areas too. I just have one question for you fellows here in the MF section. Where in the heck did you PLOW up this Greenpeace guy? Wow! Talk about a tree hugger! I think you guys are nuts if you don't run your high sulpher fuel, especially in the older tractors. One volcano erupting will put far more sulpher into the air then all the tractors in the world would in the history of mankind. So Greenpeace is worried about the exhaust from his tractor if he runs high sulpher diesel. Well, first of all I bet this wacko has never ran a tractor, let alone owns one. But, given the fact he does, let him go buy a Scott Airpack. You know the kind the firemen wear. He will be right at home in one. He might even find a shop to fill it for him that might put a little pine scent in it for him.

Heck, I am more worried about the dust harming me then I am a little sulphur in the fuel. Oh, shucks! I have a John Deere two popper, I don't get to worry about how much sulphur is in my fuel. I tell you what though, I think I will go to the hobby store tomorrow and purchase some sulphur from a chemistry set and dump it in the fuel tank of my JD. That ought to lube up my needle valve and float.

You guyes keep on farming, as I like to eat and need too. Use high sulphur if it makes your tractors last longer. Let Greenpeace hug a tree and maybe even Al Gore while he is at it.

Greenpeace, get a life! Grow up!

Here is a suggestion for Bill, try to run leaded gasoline in your JD. I know a place to get it for $.29 a gallon. All you have to do is serch around a little Kevin in Georgia

I have my own views, and have posted them freguently. I also respect the viewpoints of all others although I very strongly disagree some of with them. Lets please keep it civil and pleasant here at YT. Kim has an excellent forum site and I want to enjoy it for years. My opinion of greenpeace poster is that the person is trying to inflame anyone-whether for fun or real, but like I said, it's his opinion. By the way, how do you keep from getting whiplash riding those dueces?

Ray,

I agree with you. Everyone is intitled to thier own opionion. Just happens I love this country and I love all it stands for. If it were not for the farmers over the years we would still be backwards. For one to think that a farmer of all people would WANT to destroy the very enviroment they use to make their living is just plain dumb! Yes, I think we have come a long way in protecting the enviroment. I think it is really sad that we used to dump raw sewage in the rivers and oceans. I think it is sad that we used to dump chemicals into the rivers to the point that we had killed most of the fish and other life in them. However, we have seen the light and reversed these problems. I don't think we need to go over board and be afraid to use the land that God gave us. Use it! Be proud to use it! A little sulphur along the way is no harm. Besides the most beautiful thing about a tree is the noise it makes as it is falling after being cut down.

Really, now, I keep from getting whiplash on the two popper by running the plow a little deeper then I would on a Massey. This tends to "filter" out the power pulses.

Thanks for writing.

Bill

Bill, the Scott Airpack comment was nice, but there is a problem you see. Scott Airpacks are made by Scott Aviation, and we all know what aviation does to the environment!
